Drayton might be the biggest freshman running back I’ve ever evaluated, and it’s possible his size dictates a move to full-time edge rusher, but he’s a natural runner who runs with surprising pad level for a taller back. Drayton is a load to bring down and gets downhill in a hurry. Unsurprisingly, he hasn’t gotten a ton of early varsity run on a loaded Myers Park squad, but his athleticism and upside land him inside the top 25.
